Raw Jewelled Cauliflower Salad

This salad is so versatile, you can add any nuts, seeds, and colourful berries you want. You can even cook the rice in a pan with a couple of tablespoons of water to have a hot side dish. (add all the other ingredients after cooking)

Cauliflower is rich in Vitamin C, so a great addition to your immune boosting diet. It also contains vitamin K, folate, pantothenic acid and Vitamin B6. On top of that: cauliflower is a good source of dietary fiber, has low calories and carbohydrates and has an array of minerals.

Ingredients:

1 small head of cauliflower

1 finely chopped red onion

1 heaped teaspoon turmeric

1 heaped teaspoon cumin

1 handful of almond flakes

1 handful of shelled pistacios

1 handful of raisins or better even: goji berries

1 pomegranate

salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Put the almonds in a dry pan and toast at low heat until brown and fragrant. Make sure for them not to burn, so keep a close eye on it.

Put the raisins or berries in a bowl and add some boiling water, set aside to well. Once welled, drain and gently dry.

Grate the whole cauliflower in a bowl on a fine grater to create a rice-like consistency.

Add the turmeric and cumin and stir until combined

Add the finely chopped onion

Toast the pistachios the same way as you did the almonds

Mix in the raisins/berries, almonds and pistachios into the cauliflower
